I'd be shocked if he got bail.

But he’s not a risk to society so…. A possibility they’ll let him off to be with daughter?

Since her mother can't care for her because HE MURDERED HER, not likely, no.

That was a bit of a Hail Mary motion for Juliana and really got shot down. Pressure on her has really increased.

I'd imagine their level of contact will drop quite a bit with both held now?

Just remember what could happen if they let him out of bond. Family annihilation is a real thing and I wouldn’t put it past BB or TB.

Lawyers HAVE to make motions to suppress evidence before or during the trial to preserve the issue for a later appeal. If you don't raise it before/at trial, you cannot raise it for the first time on appeal.

Also, it would be a breach of your duty to the client NOT to move to suppress an admission of guilt or a statement made to police. The defendant, if convicted, would definitely have a good claim for "ineffective assistance of counsel" which just mucks up the legal system. So, the defense attorney is just doing the basic job by making the motion to suppress. Nothing unusual.

If JM isn't inclined to make a deal, and she decides to go to trial, her atty will still be able to argue that JR was still a threat and that JM was just following the orders of a trained Law Enforcement Officer (BB) in shooting someone who (to her) seemed to have stabbed CB. That's what the argument will be. It'll be the jury's place to decide if that argument holds water given whatever digital evidence the police have, the shooting range experience, buying the gun, etc. I suspect a jury will not buy JM's version. But, maybe JM thinks that she is sympathetic enough and the scene was chaotic enough, that the jury might have doubt about whether she was in danger or thought she was.

Most of us I am guessing are mothers. Can you imagine the heartache. What if this were your son? And you really thought he was innocent. I would be doing everything I could as well to help his case. I understand that she is taking it too far and victim blaming, but none of us can really say what we would do in this situation.

Let's have some grace her. It is only going to get worse for her....

Thank you!
Don’t like the woman and think she’s cray cray but as a mother, I feel her pain.

Now imagine being Christine’s mother and having the betrayal of not only Brendan but his mother as well. Tess is not stupid. She knows the truth and has chosen evil.

TESS KNOWS

"Prosecutors presented photo evidence of Banfield’s relationship with the au pair, noting this was not his first affair. They also highlighted the proximity of three major airports in the Washington, D.C. area, suggesting Banfield could easily flee. Additionally, evidence was shown indicating Banfield was learning Portuguese and preparing for a life in Brazil."
